How was the first flight? At 9:30 this morning, come to the CCTV news client and Weibo to watch the live broadcast. CCTV journalists are waiting for you at the scene)! It fills the gap between the 4-ton and 13-ton helicopter pedigree in China, and it is also one of the most advanced helicopters in this tonnage level in the world at present, and its main components, including engines, have been localized. The following CCTV News takes you to meet this "new member" of the helicopter family in China — —

　　Name: AC352

　　Place of origin: AVIC

　　Model: 7-ton medium-sized multi-purpose helicopter

　　First flight time: December 20, 2016

　　What are the characteristics of AC352?

　　Wide fuselage and large space

　　The maximum take-off weight of AC352 is 7 tons. It adopts conventional aerodynamic layout, with double engines, wide fuselage, retractable wheeled landing gear at the first three points, and conventional layout design of single rotor with tail rotor. The cabin space can meet the needs of carrying 14 to 16 passengers.

　　Widely used and versatile.

　　AC352 helicopter can be widely used in search and rescue, general transportation, medical rescue and offshore operations.

　　Safety, economy and environmental protection

　　It is understood that AC352 helicopter is one of the safest, most comfortable, most environmentally friendly, easiest to drive and most economical medium-sized multi-purpose helicopters in the world.

　　AC352 memorabilia:

　　In March 2011, AC352 helicopter successfully carried out static test in Jingdezhen;

　　In January 2012, AC352 helicopter completed the bird impact and lightning strike test;

　　In 2013, AC352 helicopter completed lightning strike, bird impact and tail beam strength test of middle fuselage components;

　　On December 20, 2016, the AC352 helicopter made its first flight.

　　What are the high technologies of AC352?

　　Spherical flexible main hub with 5 rotors

　　Rotor is one of the most complicated technologies in a helicopter. As an iconic part of a helicopter, rotor plays a decisive role in the altitude, speed and distance of a helicopter in flight. During the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, China has conquered the world’s advanced spherical flexible hub technology. This third-generation rotor system developed by China for the first time has been applied to newly developed multi-type civil helicopters in recent years, showing superior performance.

　　Engine inlet net cover

　　Due to the take-off and landing characteristics of helicopter, the rotor will produce a strong downward airflow, which will blow dust and debris or even stones on the ground. Once these debris are absorbed by the engine of the helicopter, it will affect the service life and cause engine damage. Therefore, the front end of the intake port of helicopter engine usually has a metal mesh shield filter device.

　　Engine tail nozzle

　　According to the working characteristics of turboshaft engine, the general exhaust device is cylindrical diffusion, so that the gas can fully expand in the free turbine and be converted into shaft power as much as possible. The exhaust device of modern turboshaft engine can achieve more than 95% conversion of gas power.

　　Airspeed sensor

　　A tubular device with an opening on the nose facing the front of the aircraft, which is connected with a pressure measuring device in the cockpit and used to measure the flight speed of the aircraft.

　　winch

　　The winch installed in helicopter is usually an optional equipment for helicopter, which is powered by hydraulic pressure and power supply and lifts the effective load by winding steel cables or cables. The electric winch can be used to rescue people, lift and transport light goods, and lift people from high altitude for aerial work when the helicopter is hovering.

　　Helicopter fuel filler

　　The AC352 uses JET A1 or JP4 fuel.

　　AC352 tail rotor

　　Helicopter tail rotor is used to balance the reaction torque and steer the helicopter. The rotating tail rotor is equivalent to a vertical stabilizer, which can stabilize the helicopter heading.

　　Avionics system

　　The AC352 adopts brand-new avionics system, 4-axis dual redundancy flight control system and advanced warning system with key system warning, fault identification and maintenance built-in test functions, which can reduce the workload of drivers.

　　What is the significance of the first flight of AC352?

　　AC352 is a successful practice of China helicopter industry under the guidance of the principle of "independent development and active international cooperation". Its appearance fills the gap in the 7-ton pedigree of China civil helicopters and makes the product pedigree of AVIC helicopters more complete.

Following the hot sale of Huawei Pura 70 Ultra and Huawei Pura 70 Pro last week, Huawei Pura 70 and Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ were officially launched at 10:08 on April 22nd. ?

For Huawei’s mobile phones, the sales fever of "selling out immediately after listing" continues. At 10: 08 on April 22, Huawei Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro+ opened their first sales and sold out quickly. According to official website, the starting price of Huawei Pura 70 is 5499 yuan, and the starting price of Pura 70 Pro+ is 7999 yuan.

In addition to the high popularity of mobile phones, Huawei has also made a strong attack in the automotive field.

On April 24th, Huawei will hold two conferences: Huawei Smart Car Solutions will hold the "2024 Huawei Smart Car Solutions Conference" and Huawei Digital New Energy will hold the "2024 Huawei Smart Electric & Smart Charging Network Strategy and New Product Launch Conference".

"Assault sales" reappears, and Pura 70 is hot.

On April 18th, Huawei launched the "HUAWEI Pura 70 Series Pioneer Program", and Pura 70 Ultra and Pura 70 Pro went on sale at 10:08 on the same day.

It is understood that there are four models of Huawei Pura 70 series. In addition to the Pro and Ultra versions that were launched on April 18, the remaining Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro+ were also sold separately at 10: 08 am on April 22. From the price point of view, the Pura70 model with the lowest price in Huawei Pura 70 series starts at 5499 yuan, and the starting price of Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ is 7999 yuan.

It is understood that both Huawei Pura 70 Ultra and Pro series adopt super-focusing macro telephoto. Pura 70 Ultra is the only model equipped with super-focusing telescopic main camera, which is also a major innovation of Huawei in the field of mobile imaging. It is also equipped with the industry’s first rotating telescopic lens structure. Compared with conventional lenses, this design can take into account the thickness of the lens and the fuselage, and at the same time, plug in high-standard camera lenses to enhance the image ability of mobile phones.

At present, Pura 70 series continues the sales popularity of Mate 60 series, and the scene of "sold out in one second" has appeared many times, and the overall sales of Huawei mobile phones are also recovering strongly. Counterpoint data shows that smartphone sales in China bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2023, increasing by 6.6% year-on-year, of which Apple’s mobile phone sales decreased by 9% year-on-year, and Huawei’s sales increased by 71.1% year-on-year.

At the same time, Huawei has also "recovered lost ground" in the high-end mobile phone market. Counterpoint report shows that in the global high-end smartphone market of 600 dollars or more (about 4,333 yuan) in 2023, Huawei reached 5% of the high-end market share, up from 3% in the same period in 2022.

Wang Peng said that Huawei’s R&D strength is its core strength, especially in communication technology (such as 5G), camera technology and artificial intelligence technology. Innovations in these fields make Huawei mobile phones ahead of their peers in performance, photography and intelligent experience.

Liang Zhenpeng, an observer of the consumer electronics industry, said in an interview: "Huawei’s current advantage in regaining global high-end market share lies in its technological innovation, R&D strength and in-depth understanding of the domestic market. However, the main difficulty lies in the acceptance of the global market and the response of competitors. Although Huawei Pura70 series has evolved in AI capabilities and HarmonyOS OS, it is not enough to completely reverse Huawei’s disadvantage in the global high-end market share. "

Zhijie "grabs the bill" Xiaomi SU7, which can deduct 5,000 yuan.

On April 11th, HarmonyOS Ecological Spring Communication Meeting was held, and Huawei and Chery officially announced that Zhijie S7 had achieved mass delivery, which could "deliver one car in one minute". Based on the strong manufacturing capacity, the intellectual community has also set its sights on Xiaomi SU7, whose production capacity is in short supply.

Recently, there is market news that Huawei’s Zhijie S7 is "grabbing" customers of Xiaomi SU7, buying Zhijie S7 and paying the final payment, which can deduct the 5000 yuan deposit of Xiaomi SU7 lock order from the car price.

It is understood that at present, there are three modes of cooperation between Huawei and car companies, namely, spare parts supply mode (providing standardized products such as laser radar and car networking module for car companies and electric control of motors), HI mode (namely HuaweiInside, car companies adopt Huawei’s full-stack solution, including hardware and software) and HarmonyOS Zhixing mode (Huawei is deeply involved in product design, marketing and terminal sales).

Zhijie S7 is the model of Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing cooperation. In 2023, HarmonyOS Zhixing opened to 78 cities nationwide to join the user center, which provided a series of services including sales, delivery and after-sales. According to Ping An Securities Research Report, HarmonyOS Zhixing Store will operate independently, and it is planned to build 800 stores by 2024.

The reporter came to a Wuhan HarmonyOS Zhixing Super Experience Center for consultation. The relevant staff told the reporter that the policy of deducting the deposit of 5,000 yuan from Xiaomi by purchasing Zhijie S7 does exist. At present, it is only for Zhijie S7, and other HarmonyOS Zhixing models do not enjoy this discount. To enjoy the relevant discount, you need to show the lock voucher of Xiaomi SU7, and the activity will last until the end of May. Compared with Xiaomi SU7, the delivery speed of Zhijie S7 is relatively fast. The above-mentioned staff told the reporter that the current delivery cycle of Zhijie S7 is 2 weeks to 4 weeks. Now you can pick up the car in May, and some configurations need 4 to 6 weeks to pick up the car.

According to the Pacific Securities Research Report, Zhijie S7 is the first car in Huawei’s smart car selection business, which will further fill the layout of Huawei’s cars. With the large-scale delivery and further cooperation between Huawei and the OEM, Huawei’s auto business is expected to continue to achieve profitability after turning losses, and Huawei Smart Drive is expected to shape a new round of industry prosperity.

Behind the "battle for orders" between Zhijie S7 and Xiaomi SU7, the sales of Xiaomi SU7 far exceeded expectations, and the production capacity was "in short supply". At the beginning of April, a car buyer with a lock list of Xiaomi SU7 told reporters that the estimated delivery time of the Xiaomi SU7Max version of the lock list is 26-29 weeks later, and it will take almost the end of the year to pick up the car.

In response to this "battle", Lei Jun, founder and chairman of Xiaomi Group, also responded. On April 22nd, Lei Jun said at the Weibo: "At present, the production capacity and delivery speed of Xiaomi SU7 are increasing rapidly, and the standard version and Max have been delivered in advance. Many prospective car owners found in Xiaomi Auto APP that the delivery time is expected to be advanced. At Beijing Auto Show, I will introduce our production capacity and delivery plan in detail. If you are really anxious to buy a car, domestic new energy vehicles are good, for example, Zhijie S7, Weilai ET5, Tucki P7 series, etc., you can also consider buying. "

The official of Zhijie responded by saying: "Thank you, Mr. Lei, for recommending Zhijie S7! Super-large space, Huawei intelligent driving and HarmonyOS cockpit have now started scale delivery, and consumers are welcome to experience in the store! "

Huawei takes the lead! The overcharge alliance is about to start.

On April 24th, Huawei will hold two conferences: Huawei Smart Car Solutions will hold the "2024 Huawei Smart Car Solutions Conference" and Huawei Digital New Energy will hold the "2024 Huawei Smart Electric & Smart Charging Network Strategy and New Product Launch Conference".

Among them, official website, Huawei’s smart car solution, was officially launched yesterday. According to the agenda of the meeting, "2024 Huawei Smart Car Solution Conference" includes new product launch conference, smart car lighting, smart car control, computing platform, smart driving, smart cockpit and smart Che Yun theme forum.

Weibo, the official of Huawei’s smart car solutions, said that at the press conference, Huawei will launch a new brand, and invited many car companies, such as Extreme Fox, Changan Automobile, Aouita, Deep Blue Automobile, Blueprint Automobile, Warrior Technology and Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi.

At the "2024 Huawei Intelligent Electric & Intelligent Charging Network Strategy and New Product Launch Conference", a new intelligent fusion solution in power domain will be launched for pure electric and extended range hybrid platforms, and a full range of ultra-fast charging solutions will be released.

It is worth noting that according to the agenda of the meeting, the meeting will also include the release ceremony of the "Overcharged Alliance".

　　[car home’s original test drive] The protagonist in the martial arts novels has the same life, and he has learned all the magical tricks along the way, so the most anticipated scene is always in the middle of the war, because it is time for the protagonist to show everyone a strong kung fu very smartly. There is no confrontation on today’s stage, but one person’s dazzling skills are also wonderful enough, because you have never seen the martial arts moves used by this protagonist. Let’s welcome a new generation of Mazda 3.

　　The new generation Mazda 3 is finally getting closer and closer to us. Yesterday, my colleague introduced all aspects of it to you in detail through video (the video is below). Today, it debuted again, because I brought you the strongest player of the new generation Mazda 3 in Europe, equipped with the new car test drive feeling of Chuangchi Blue Sky -X compression ignition engine. This brand-new engine can be said to be the ultimate weapon of Mazda 3, so let it show its hands quickly.

The following is an explanation video of my colleague who went to Taiwan Province earlier to test drive the new generation Mazda 3 sedan version:

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

■ It is not far from the arrival of domestic models.

　　Let’s talk about the domestic models that you are most concerned about. You don’t have to look at the markets that have already sold a new generation of Mazda 3, because the domestic models will come soon, and the official listing time may be in September. Many people should know that the new car will no longer use the name of Angkor Sela. This is Mazda’s new strategy of adopting a globally unified model name. The domestic model is also called Mazda 3, which feels much smoother. However, at the initial stage of the new car, only the sedan version is available, and the power will continue to be equipped with two naturally aspirated engines, 1.5L and 2.0L The hatchback model will be introduced to the market later.

　　A new generation of Mazda 3 has been listed in many places, and the power selection is also very rich. There are some models equipped with 1.8L diesel engines, as well as familiar 1.5L and 2.0L gasoline engines. You can even see 2.5L gasoline engines in the American market. Wait, such a rich power configuration, but I just didn’t see the heaviest weapon, the brand-new Chuangchi Blue Sky -X engine. Of course, the long-awaited malicious character will be the finale, and today it finally appeared. Next, starting this autumn, Mazda 3 equipped with Chuangchi Blue Sky -X engine began to deliver cars in Europe and Japan. But when will this model come to us? There is no clear answer from the manufacturer.

● Appearance: sexy sports style

　　The new generation Mazda 3 was officially released at the Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of last year, and it has been half a year. Everyone should have some understanding of the appearance of this new car. The reason is very simple, because its design is eye-catching, it has a murderous look like a blade and a sexy figure, so no matter which stage it is on, it can always attract everyone’s attention successfully, and this design is absolutely successful.

　　The all-black net makes the whole front of the car serious, and the sense of movement is naturally strong enough. The design of headlights is also fascinating, but from our test drive, the front fog lights are not equipped.

　　Although all the hatchback models are contacted this time, the sedan version is the absolute main force in the compact car market with the same price in China. With the sedan body size of the new generation Mazda 3 and the mainstream rival PK, it can be seen that the body length of the new generation Mazda 3 is following the trend, but it has succeeded in showing off in the wheelbase. It would be great if such an advantage can be brought to the actual ride space.

　　The reason why the hatchback version has a sexier side is entirely because of the design of the rear of the car. The outline is full and the details are eye-catching, which is really nice.

　　The visual effect of the 18-inch all-black rim is naturally excellent, and it is cool in one word. This is definitely a very sporty style. The tire configuration of the test drive is very powerful, and it uses Bridgestone’s Tairan T005A, which has a high positioning, pays more attention to comfort and has outstanding mute performance. Let’s look forward to the tire configuration of domestic models in the future.

　　The most deadly thing about the appearance of the new generation Mazda 3 is its sexy line outline, which can be felt especially on the hatchback. Unfortunately, the sedan version will come to us first, but the one that should come will always come, and it definitely has the ability to attract you to see more.

Palm oil, as one of the most important edible oils in the world, its market supply and demand changes have a far-reaching impact on the futures value. It is very important for investors and market analysts to understand these changes and their laws.

First of all, the supply of palm oil mainly depends on Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia and Indonesia. Palm oil production in these two countries accounts for more than 80% of the global total. Therefore, any factors that affect the production capacity of these two countries, such as climate change, policy adjustment or labor market fluctuation, will directly affect the supply of palm oil. For example, extreme weather conditions such as drought or flood may lead to a decline in production, thus pushing up palm oil futures prices.

Secondly, on the demand side, palm oil is widely used in food processing, biofuels and cosmetics. Global economic growth, population growth and changes in consumer preferences will all affect the demand for palm oil. For example, with the increasing global demand for renewable energy, the demand for palm oil in biodiesel production is also rising. This increase in demand usually pushes up the price of palm oil futures.

The impact of supply and demand changes on the futures value of palm oil can be displayed more intuitively in the following table:

In addition, the supply and demand changes of palm oil market still have certain seasonal laws. For example, November to February is the peak of palm oil production, because this period is the rainy season in Southeast Asia, which is conducive to the growth of palm fruit. On the contrary, June to August every year is the low yield period, because this period is the dry season, which is not conducive to the growth of palm fruit. This seasonal change will also lead to periodic fluctuations in palm oil futures prices.

Finally, global trade policies and geopolitical factors will also have a significant impact on the palm oil market. For example, the adjustment of tariffs, the change of trade agreements or the political instability of major producing countries may all lead to the imbalance between supply and demand in the market, thus affecting futures prices. Therefore, investors need to comprehensively consider these macroeconomic and political factors when analyzing the palm oil futures market.

In a word, the change of supply and demand in palm oil market is a complex and multi-factor driven process. Through in-depth analysis of these changes and their laws, investors can better grasp the market dynamics and make more wise investment decisions.

CCTV News:The State Administration of Market Supervision recently released the results of supervision and spot check of automobile windshield cleaning liquid. The reporter learned that the sampling samples mainly came from the circulation field, involving 126 batches of automotive windshield cleaning liquid products produced by 113 enterprises in 17 provinces and cities. The test found that there were more than 20% unqualified products in the glass water for vehicles on the market.

"For ten years, this dream has finally taken a substantial step!" On the afternoon of October 30th, Lou Deming, a professor at Tongji University, stood in front of the biodiesel oiler at Zhuanghang Gas Station in Fengxian, Sinopec.

?

From now on, two Sinopec gas stations in Fengxian District and Pudong New Area of Shanghai will start to sell B5 biodiesel as a pilot. This means that biodiesel made from kitchen waste oil has finally got rid of the "laboratory" stage and opened up the "last mile" of marketization, and it is just around the corner to realize large-scale replication and popularization.

?

Lou Deming said that it has always been his dream to market biodiesel.

?

"Free delivery" of biodiesel.

?

After removing impurities, chemical reaction, distillation and other processes, refined fatty acid methyl ester, also known as biodiesel, can be obtained from kitchen waste oil. According to China’s national standard "biodiesel blended fuel", biodiesel that can be used in vehicles must be "blended oil". For example, B5 biodiesel provided by the two pilot gas stations is blended with 5% biodiesel and 95% mineral diesel. At the same time, dozens of quality indexes such as sulfur content, acid value, water content, condensation point and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have to be examined.

?

The reporter of Jiefang Daily Shangguan saw in a gas station at the intersection of Nanting Highway and Puwei Highway that two oilers have been modified, and four oilers can provide the service of filling B5 biodiesel, and the "biodiesel" mark with white characters on the green background is affixed to the ground of the relevant refueling stations; On the stop sign erected at the gas station, the four characters "biodiesel" have also been added to remind the passing vehicles.

?

Looking at the oil price, the average diesel in this station is 6.02 yuan/liter, while the B5 biodiesel can be discounted by 9.5, and the price is 5.72 yuan/liter. "There is 5% biodiesel in every liter of oil, and this preferential price is equivalent to giving biodiesel free of charge." The gas station attendant said that this would attract some car owners to switch to biodiesel, and the invoice would also indicate "biodiesel".

?

On the left is the unit price of B5 biodiesel, and on the right is the unit price of ordinary diesel, with preferential 0.3 yuan/liter.

?

At present, this gas station in Fengxian reserves about 10 tons of B5 biodiesel, and it is estimated that it can be filled in four or five days if each vehicle is filled with 60 liters at a time. The waiter said that at the beginning, many car owners may be influenced by traditional ideas, and may not necessarily accept biodiesel. There may also be many people pursuing green environmental protection, and the specific effect remains to be seen. Before they fill the vehicle, they will take the initiative to express the oil and ask the driver’s wishes.

?

It is almost the same as ordinary diesel.

?

The reporter interviewed several car owners who came to the station to refuel at random. They generally welcomed biodiesel, but they didn’t choose biodiesel on the grounds of "not sure about the quality" and "may not accept it when reimbursing".

?

In this regard, Lou Deming said that the quality of biodiesel that can enter the pilot of Sinopec gas station has been repeatedly tested, and it is almost the same as ordinary diesel. According to him, since September 29th, 2013, when the first No.70 bus in Shanghai was put into operation, as of September 30th, 2017, a total of 104 buses have participated in the project "Research on Shanghai Application System of Biodiesel Made from High Proportion of Kitchen Waste Oils". These buses that use biodiesel mixed fuels of three specifications (B5, B10 and B20) run for a total of 15,607,200 kilometers, and consume 456,300 liters of waste oil from kitchen to make biodiesel. In the past 10 months, another 32 sanitation vehicles have participated in the above-mentioned experiments, running 83,100 kilometers in total and consuming 2,405.6 liters of kitchen waste oil to produce biodiesel.

?

The results show that after using B5 biodiesel, there is no carbon deposit on the surface of the piston top, valve, injector and other key parts of the test vehicle engine, and there is no fault related to the oil circuit. Some vehicles have also seen an improvement in exhaust emissions. Compared with pure diesel, the emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and ultrafine particles have all decreased slightly.

?

A sanitation truck is waiting to be filled with B5 biodiesel. Driver Ye Jinqing said that on average, it saves a few dollars per day compared with adding fossil diesel, and the tail gas pollution seems to be a little less.

?

Solve the problem of "not enough to eat" and "no money to earn"

?

Lou Deming said frankly that "gutter oil" became the technology of vehicle fuel, and it was conquered more than ten years ago. The project achievement "Key Technology and Application of Mixed Diesel Fuel Vehicle" won the first prize of scientific and technological progress in Shanghai in 2012, but since then, it has been a very difficult road to make "gutter oil" completely leave the laboratory and go to the market. To sum up, there are two levels: "not enough to eat" and "no money to earn".

?

The so-called "not enough to eat" means that there is no stable source of "gutter oil" and it is impossible to guarantee the stable mass production of biodiesel.

?

This problem was solved in 2013. Under the leadership of Shanghai Food Safety Office, Shanghai Food Safety Office, Municipal Greening and Appearance Bureau, Municipal Food Safety Federation, Tongji University, Shanghai Huayi Group and Shanghai Zhongqi Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. signed the "Six-Party Cooperation Agreement on the Recycling of Kitchen Waste Oils in Shanghai", which clarified that the kitchen waste oils collected in the whole city were given priority to the bus pilot project. As long as conditions permit, about 30,000 to 40,000 tons of kitchen waste oil produced in Shanghai every year can be transported to designated units to produce biodiesel.

?

The so-called "no money to earn" is subject to higher collection, transportation and disposal costs, and Shanghai biodiesel production enterprises have long been in the dilemma of cost inversion. Starting from 2010, the purchase price of "waste oil" of Shanghai disposal enterprises should be calculated according to a certain proportion of the sum of the international prices of crude oil, palm oil and methyl ester. Once the international oil price falls, the longer the production line is opened, the more it will lose money.

?

"At present, it is still in a state of loss, and it loses several hundred yuan for every ton sold." Zhang Xuewang, chairman of Sinochem Environmental Protection, said frankly that at present, the purchase price of "waste oil" is about 3,600 yuan/ton, and the direct production cost of about 2,000 yuan has exceeded the market price of biodiesel of more than 5,000 yuan/ton. Therefore, although the disposal capacity can reach 150 tons/day, China Environmental Protection actually only disposes about 60 tons of "waste oil" every day.

?

This problem was solved in 2016, and the "Emergency Support Measures for the Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Biodiesel Made from Waste Kitchen Oils in Shanghai" was promulgated, which will subsidize the losses of related disposal enterprises in case of market failure to ensure their normal operation. In addition, Shanghai has set up a budget to promote the application of biodiesel. At present, the costs and expenses arising from the production and distribution of B5 biodiesel related to two pilot gas stations are included in this budget, which will also reduce the burden on related enterprises.

?

The attendant at the gas station is filling the vehicle with B5 biodiesel, which the industry has been waiting for for a long time.

?

Zheng Shusong, deputy secretary-general of Shanghai Food Safety Federation, said that the promotion of biodiesel depends largely on the financial support of the government, so that the energy cost borne by enterprises is lower than the current pure fossil diesel model, so that enterprises will have the enthusiasm to use it. However, relying on financial support is not a long-term solution. The key is to find a way out of the market. This time, biodiesel has entered the social gas station, which is a huge step.

?

"If a gas station can accept biodiesel, the public can really get in touch with biodiesel. Only by understanding, the whole society will further accept and recognize this new energy consumption mode." Zheng Shusong said that it is foreseeable that the sales of biodiesel will become wider and wider, and its value will also increase. At that time, disposal enterprises can no longer rely on financial subsidies and take a purely market-oriented road.

?

Closed-loop management of "waste oil"

?

"Waste cooking oil" generally refers to the oil produced and processed by non-food raw materials such as kitchen waste, meat processing waste and unqualified livestock and poultry products. In recent years, all parts of the country have continuously intensified the crackdown and strengthened the source control, and the illegal and criminal activities of manufacturing and selling "gutter oil" with kitchen waste as raw materials have been curbed. However, the long-term mechanism for the comprehensive improvement of "gutter oil" has not been fully established, and the illegal and criminal problems of manufacturing and selling "gutter oil" still occur from time to time. In April this year, the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Governance of Waste Oil", which clearly pointed out that it is necessary to strictly supervise law enforcement, strengthen source governance, and prevent waste oil from flowing to the table; It is also necessary to increase policy support and establish a long-term mechanism to jointly promote the harmless treatment and resource utilization of kitchen waste. It is necessary to regard the treatment of "gutter oil" as the key task of food safety during the 13 th Five-Year Plan period, and strive to make a breakthrough.

?

Experts believe that there is no very accurate detection method for "gutter oil" at present, and it is difficult to achieve it only by "person-to-person" supervision. At present, the main breakthrough is resource utilization, and the "sparse" market replaces the "blocking" supervision.

?

Referring to the international advanced experience, San Francisco, USA, recycles waste oil from restaurants in the city free of charge, converts it into biofuel and directly forces it to be used in municipal public transport; Japan put forward the "comprehensive strategy of bio-energy", which clearly gives the recycling of waste edible oil an important position in biodiesel fuel, and formulates the policy of state support for cooperative enterprises. Waste oil professional recycling companies basically recycle waste oil from catering enterprises for free, and after a series of treatment and refining, it becomes biodiesel, and then sells it to the government at several times the cost.

?

Shanghai has also gained valuable exploration experience in this regard. "Through the path of biodiesel, Shanghai has achieved closed-loop management of kitchen waste oil." Yang Jinsong, director of Shanghai Food and Drug Administration, said that in the future, Shanghai will continue to upgrade its technical standards, use the market-oriented operation mode, promote the diversified application of biodiesel from kitchen waste oil, expand from buses and sanitation vehicles to logistics vehicles and Yangtze River cargo ships, and explore the establishment of a safe and reliable mixed diesel fuel storage and filling system that is suitable for the actual situation of Shanghai and can effectively reduce costs, so as to further improve the supervision system and market operation mode of the whole industry chain.

At the moment when the pre-sale began, the pre-sale price was not announced, and the operation of Qi Rising Road Star Era ET was somewhat confusing; But fortunately, the price information was confirmed later, so after having the most important evaluation reference, the evaluation of this car will inevitably reverse.

Price information:

• Extended version, RMB 19.9, RMB 21.9 and RMB 239,000.
• Pure electronic version, RMB 23.9, RMB 24.9, RMB 25.9, RMB 28.9 and RMB 329,000.

For a new energy medium and large SUV, this price is really not high; Its body size is 4955*1975*1698 mm, and the wheelbase is 3000 mm. It is a standard C-class car, and the visual effect of the car is good, especially if the wheelbase is large enough, it will make the side of the car look more tense. As for the height of the car body, it is not very high, so the style of this car is biased towards sports; The controversy about vehicle design is not discussed here. Some car enthusiasts think that the vehicle design is similar to a G9, but after comparison, it is found that it is only similar rather than similar.

Interpretation of extended range edition

The dynamic parameters of the extended-range version of Star Age ET have finally been confirmed, which are basically the same as predicted, but one thing is unexpected, that is, the extended-range four-wheel drive version has not been seen at present; This version is equipped with a 1.5T range extender, and the engine adopts a vertical layout; The motor is a rear-mounted model, so the extended-range version is determined to be rear-driven. Its power reserve is 195 kW/324 N m, and its 100-kilometer acceleration score is 7.8 seconds, which is quite satisfactory.

Its lowest charged fuel consumption is 5.2L/100km, and its fuel consumption performance in the same class car is quite good.

Without four-wheel drive, this car needs a long enough pure electric cruising range.

Its standard is that the test cruising range of WLTC is 161 kilometers, and the corresponding test cruising range of CLTC is 200 kilometers.

This standard is regarded as the first-line level of the same class car, and its overall level can be aligned with the rear-drive version. It is a four-wheel drive with a slightly higher positioning, and the two cars are not comparable. Then asking M7 is the key to stand out from the rest of Star Age ET. The guide price of the rear-drive version of the car is 24.98, 26.98, 28.98 and 309,800 yuan, the limited-time discount of the low-version is 20,000 yuan, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 7.8 seconds, and the pure electric mileage is 200 kilometers under WLTC working conditions. Its pure electric mileage is long, but the price is a little higher after all, so the extended-range version of Star Era ET is still promising.

Perspective pure electric plate

The pure electric version of Star Era ET has two series: rear-drive and four-wheel drive. The pre-sale price of the rear-drive version is 23.9, 25.9 and 289,000 yuan, corresponding to the cruising range of 625 kilometers and the flagship version of 760 kilometers. The pre-sale price of the four-wheel drive version is 249,000 yuan and 329,000 yuan, and the cruising range is 540 kilometers and 655 kilometers respectively. The cruising range of the four-wheel drive version is not long.

The 100-kilometer acceleration score of the rear-wheel drive version is 6.4-6.6 seconds, the four-wheel drive low-profile version is 4.7 seconds, and the flagship version is 3.8 seconds, and the performance is quite good.

Now let’s talk about the key configuration:

Laser radar.

The extended-range version is not equipped with a lidar, nor are the pure electric rear-drive and four-wheel drive low-profile versions. The rear-drive middle-and high-profile versions and the four-wheel drive flagship version are equipped with a lidar as standard; That is to say, the starting price (pre-sale price) of the version equipped with lidar is actually 259,000 yuan, which is not too high.

The competing products of Astrology ET should be, because there are no pure electric versions of the universe M7 and the ideal L6; The guide price of Tucki G9 rear drive version is 253,900-304,900 yuan, and the price of four-wheel drive version is 354,900 yuan, which is higher than that of Xingjiyuan ET pure electric series. Its cruising range is 570-702 kilometers, and the four-wheel drive version is 650 kilometers, which has no advantage in this respect; Therefore, the laser radar of the intelligent driving system has become one of the key configurations to win the battle. Tucki G9 has been equipped with dual laser radars since the rear-drive version of 289,900 yuan, and the starting price of this version is still higher than the corresponding version of Star Era ET.

Conclusion:

The final guide price of Star Road Star Era ET should meet the expectations of most of its users, but it is a pity that the extended-range version does not have four-wheel drive. If we can add an extended-range four-wheel drive version with a price of about 250,000 yuan, I believe its sales volume is likely to be on a par with that of the M7 brand, and even disrupt the layout of the two brands.

Pure electric series can give favorable comments, and this car is not disappointing.

Tianhe Auto editor, welcome to turn to praise.
